You’ve heard that it’s a good idea to take a picture of yourself before you begin to lose weight in order to show yourself what you’re working for. When you look at your previous body while you’re transforming it you may be motivated to keep working hard. You may also be able to see the results easier if you’re looking at your pre diet/workout endeavor. Let’s think of something else though, what if you don’t get immediate results and you’re just staring at yourself not getting smaller yet. Then what? It leads to cheating on your diet and a loss of motivation. Now let’s say you put up a picture of what you’re working towards? Also loss of motivation? Sometimes when you look at a picture of what you used to weigh it can lead to loss of motivation however I want to look at a mind over matter study. A basketball training camp took 3 groups of players. They had one do nothing but practice free throws. One group did nothing but visualize free throws going in and the last group did 50/50 split of visualizing and practice. The final group improved a significant amount compared to the first two groups that improved the same amount. Think about that for a moment. Constant practice had the same affect as constant visualization. So look at a picture of you with your perfect body and you’ll find it easier to get it. Remember to visualize you’re results in order to achieve them.
